Languages

Most languages can sound beautiful or horrible depending on how the native speaker speaks it. There are also regional dialects that can result in two countrymen not being able to understand each other.

my favorite just might be sign language. a stripper sees me standing around, makes a fists and motions it real quick back and forth like four times each way and then points to the lap dance room. i declined as her mileage in the past sucks but she gets points for making me laugh.

I am and probably always will be most comfortable with the English language. I wish more Americans could use it properly

I agree on Brazilian Portuguese.

"I absolutely detest French. It sounds completely hideous and grotesque to me, but a lot of people love it." To me French has always sounded beautiful. Took French in college. The first semester was easy; by 2nd semester I had to actually go to almost classes, and got good grades, but it was a bit tough when usually I learn fast. Also, sooo many French words have way too many letters. Like ok that's enough, it's a little laughable. I still like the language. I took German in high school. It's kind of easy to learn, but it's kind of an ugly language... let's be real. Nothing about German language is beautfiul. If I weren't a native "American English" speaker, I'd think English sounds weird... especially southern dialects, or NYC dialects, that are a specific part of American English.

^^ blah "I absolutely detest French. It sounds completely hideous and grotesque to me, but a lot of people love it." I don't disagree... but English spoken with a French accent is pretty cool... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qypEulhiHAw

I actually think German sounds beautiful. Read Mark Twain's essay on the German language, it's funny and touching at the same time.

I like both French and Russian, though I can't speak either worth a damn. I have a handful of friends who speak Irish. As relatively obscure languages go, I love how it sounds. But it's not easy to learn and not useful for much unless you live in an Irish Gaeltacht.

I like the sound of French. I took German in high school, but it was a mistake. All the young Nazi types in my high school that I didn't like took German so I was stuck in a room with them.

Pourquoi vous n'aime pas le français?

Hell I'm still trying to master my first language, english

BTW there are a lot of accents within those languages which can really throw off the how good it sounds. Montreal and Parisian french is totally different. All different kinds of sounding German. All I'm saying is it give it a few chances.

I like the sound of Mandarin but can't stand Cantonese. I also think Korean sounds ugly. Utbay Iay ovelay igpay atinlay! (iddingkay)

Lol I had an ex boyfriend whose parents spoke Cantonese. I even did a few Primsleur lessons on Cantonese for a small while. The problem with that language was that I thought they would be having an argument but then it turns out they were just having a regular discussion on some boring topic like the weather or grocery shopping. That language/dialect just sounds so aggressive 😭

Portuguese is beautiful. I love the way Romanian and Farsi sound. Haitian creole and African French sound really good. I've gotten compliments on my Spanish a lot of times.

I agree on Korean. Don't care for the sound of it. I'm sure if you speak it its sounds good though.

@blah Russian does sound badass. On Greek, I have no idea what to make of it. Sounds like what I think 'speaking in tongues' would sound like.

Korean culture is beautiful. I love the food women language

I've heard Asians speak and it sounded disgusting. But I've heard Cambodian Vietnamese Chinese news and pop songs and the languages sounded nice. Spanish spoken by illiterate immigrants sounds bad. But like proper Spanish sounds nice. I donno. I don't fond accents sexy. Like broken English just sounds bad to me. But I respect yhe Eggert. Same with Spanish

Asians speaking sounded disgusting? Extremely racist iceepurp

Fuck Mandarin Chinese. That's the national language of CCP.

Icee "I donno. I don't fond accents sexy. Like broken English just sounds bad to me. But I respect yhe Eggert. Same with Spanish" ...was this supposed to be English?

Spanish has a lot of dialects. Some do wound like there's a lisp. If you pronounce consonants like in Russian it'll make tye vowels sound a little shorter. Maybe that's what strikes people.

My tastes in what languages sound nice has changed over time. I previously didn’t like the sound of German but have grown to like it. Portuguese- from Portugal or Brazil, not appealing to me and I’m around it quite often. Those lisps you hear from Spanish speakers are primarily from Spain, Blahblah, not other countries. Most annoying English accent by a mile to me: Australian. Or maybe it’s what they say, all seem unnecessarily long winded.

Most accents I've ever heard can be sexy or scary, depending on the speaker. Some are worse than others. It's easier to make Spanish or Portuguese sexy than it is German. Though the most annoying ones to me are regional English ones. I don't know anyone who can make a New Yawwwk or New Joizy accent sexy, they're fingernails on chalkboard. The East London cockney sounds like ass too, though I knew one girl (Indian-British) who made it work.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6WO5XabD-s Chinese and other, related East Asian languages are tonal. Syllables can have flat, rising, falling, rising then falling, or falling then rising tone, and they all mean different things. In European languages, you use tone to express emotion (or rising tone to mean a question). The most common Chinese words have flat tone, which we use to express irritation, so Chinese speakers sound irritated to us. Doesn't Tagalog have many similar words to Chinese?

https://youtu.be/HNI8RZ2PvrE Mexican spanish doesn't have a lisp from what I can tell. Like this news report. Butbitvwould sound harsh to other Spanish speakers

With English accents. Southerners sound retarded. I can't understand people from New Zealand. And I love South African English. Sounds like Australian but softer

Still hating on races and languages no wonder your skibums property icee

@blahblahblah23 The beauty of the Spanish language is that vowels well spoken are the same every time. Mexicans and Central Americans don’t speak badly considering. In fact, “Mexican” is one of the standards for movies and international broadcasts. What you may have encountered are lesser educated individuals which can be a problem in any language. If you listen to Argentinians with their Italian pronunciation of Spanish it can be almost irritating at first and forget the fucking Spanish. If I have to hear one more Spaniard yelling “Vale, Vale, Vale” over and over again into their phone I’m going to lose it. If you want to hear well-spoken Spanish then Colombians are your best bet. Now be warned that Puerto Ricans have a horrible habit of dropping the final syllable off of every word. And that reminds me of a story and I like stories: Maria was a Mexican-American from East LA and the first in her family to attend university. She got a scholarship to a University in Minnesota where she met and fell in love with a local white boy of Scandinavian descent. He asked her to marry him but she said they would need to get approval from her abuela (grandmother) the family matriarch as she was from a very traditional family. Her soon to be fiancée wanted to make a good impression so he tried to learn a few Spanish phrases. They flew to LA and the day arrived when all of the extended family was gathered in the front room of the abuela’s house. All eyes were in the tall skinny white boy as Maria led him to her abuela. There was complete silence when the young man, in his best Spanish, introduced himself to Maria’s abuela. She just stared at him in silence. All of the gathered family watched as the young man again spoke in his best Spanish saying how much he loved Maria and wanted her blessing so they could marry. The entire room held their breath as once again the abuela only stared and did not respond. Finally, Maria’s father broke the silence and ask his mother what was wrong. She turned to him and said “You didn’t tell me that Maria was going to marry a Puerto Rican”. “Mama, what are you talking about. He isn’t Puerto Rican. Where did you get that idea?” “Well, I was listening to him speaking and I knew it wasn’t English and it sure wasn’t Spanish so I assumed it must have been Puerto Rican”. LOL. Forgive me my Puerto Rican friends but you know it’s true. jajajajajaja

In Spanish, there are just 5 vowel sounds, no long and short. The emphasis is on pronouncing the vowel sounds clearly. A good example is when o is followed by n and then another consonant. The n becomes an m, so con permiso becomes com permiso, bonbón becomes bombón, etc.

There are long and short vowels. The difference between que and qué. Esta vs está...etc and you gave an example of o vs ó

I think that Spanish "lisp" is called a ceceo. It is most prominent in Spanish speakers from or near the Galician region of Spain. Because their Spanish is heavily influenced by the Galician language, which is different from Spanish. It's not very common (I think) in South or Central America.

Did you ever hear a motorcycle get started in Mexico? "cabrone, cabrone...puta puta puta".

No Ceceo isn't a lisp. It's the pronunciation of th. Which stems from Arabic influence. The illusion of a lisp stems from some king who spoke with a lisp. The nobility wanted to imitate him. The commoners wanted to imitate the nobility. It entered some dialects in Spain and later immigrants brought it to some parts of Latin America. Where its not the norm at all.

Many Cubans trace their roots to Galicia. The canary Islands. Cim is a bloviating moron as usual

Icee you got spayed by skibum, now spayed by Ishmael as usual.

Icee said "No Ceceo isn't a lisp." Yep. That's why I put "lisp" in quotes. Because it's not a lisp. It's a function of that Spanish accent. "The illusion of a lisp stems from some king who spoke with a lisp. The nobility wanted to imitate him. The commoners wanted to imitate the nobility." Except that if you look up that story in any article relating to the Spanish language in Spain, you are immediately told that it's a fable. It's not true.

Anyway, look up some examples of the Galician language being spoken. It's a cool language to listen to.

@blahblahblah23. ”I just don't like Spanish I guess. Same reason I dislike Japanese. Very few sounds in both languages compared to Russian where we have a broadly expanded variety of sounds” Well, I happen to agree but it’s not a competition, lol. I watch/listen to the following more days than not to remind me what’s important and how this story ends. It ends the same for all of us. Give it a view, 100 million other people have. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiCL0-U9WxI Лучше, чем мы

Galician js a transitional dialect between Portuguese and Spanish. They diverged when part became Portugal and the other galicia...and exposed to spanish influence. Cim work on your Google skills or better yet get an education. With Japanese. I kinda like Japanese porn sounds

And the real reason Russian wins out: When you slur your words because you’re drunk, no one can tell that you’ve been drinking. Or so I’ve been told.

I don't like hentai porn. I watch weird porn sometimes though. Like vintage European interracial. African porn. I like the Japanese porn with weird story lines like their group sex. I don't get off on it. I just like smoking and watching it sometimes.
